IMPROVEMENT IN l-IOISTING -BUCKETS.

Specificationforming part of Letters Patent No. 203,523, dated May 7,1878; application filed November 10, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. WARNER, of Plattsburg, in the county ofClinton and State of New York, have invented a new and valuableImprovement in Elevator-Buckets and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of my elevator-bucketFig. 2, a side view, and Fig. 3 a view showing the manner of attachin gmy elevator-bucket to the belt.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof an adjustable elevator-bucket, as will be hereinafter more fully setforth.

The annexed drawings, to which reference is made, fully illustrate myinvention.

The body of the bucket is formed of a vertical back, A, and curved frontB, and the sides or end pieces 0 O,fastened thereto in any caving thebelt, then moving the bucket to the point desired on the belt.

To prevent the bucket from slipping on the belt, the inner side of eachhook H is made round or triangular in its cross-section, or, in otherwords, it is formed with a longitudinal ridge or sharp edge, a, on itsunder or inner side and corresponding therewith is a bead or sharp edge,b, formed on the band D on the back of the bucket or on the bucket.These edges a and b indent the belt, or press into the same in suchmanner that, the belt being flattened or extended its full width, thebucket cannot slip on the belt.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In combination with an elevator-bucket and its belt, the hooks H H,projecting from the bucket, and formed with the sharp edges to a ontheir inner sides, and the corresponding sharp edge I; on the back ofthe bucket, and clasping the belt, as a mode of fastening, as and forthe purposes herein set forth.

2. The combination'of the elevator-bucket A B O, the solid metallic bandD, with sharp edge 12, and the hooks H H, having sharp edges a on theunder sides, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM T. WARNER.
